About This Item

Little shelf wear at spine ends and corners. Black boards with red spine and gold gilt & silver titles. NOT a bce! Jacket condition is vg. Small tears at spine edges, one 4 inch closed tear along front edge of cover/inside leaf. Herman Wouk is quoted as saying (inside leaf of dj) "These two linked novels tend to one conclusion: that war is an old habit of thought, an old frame of mind, an old political technique, that must pass as human sacrifice and human slavery have passed.I have faith that the human spirit will prove equal to the long heavy task of ending war. Against the pessimistic mood of our time, I think that the human spirit - for all it's dark side that I here portray - is in essence heroic. The adventures narrated in this romance aim to sow that essence in action. "Thebeginning of the end of war lies in remembrance". Herman Wouk.
